Thanks for posting this trip Diane. It turned out to be a great day in Rhode Island while there were horrible rainstorms in the Boston area. Perfect choice of location! Nice that there were 5 crazy optimistic people that made the drive down to Rhode Island in heavy downpours listening to reports of ...

Welcome keeponswimming! We have become mostly an open-water sea kayaking group where most of the trips that are posted require a longer sit-inside boat with bulkheads front and rear for flotation. (The longer boat is needed to be able to keep up with the group.) Most trips require a good level of pr...

Any chance we can get a night of practice in without thunderstorms this week? Where to go, Hanson or Canton or both? I believe a couple people are meeting in Canton and I think a couple others were planning on Hanson. Would people like to chime in on where, when and if they are planning to practice ...

I’ll be there. PPR too. May I suggest we paddle into the Weir river this time. Not sure if we have done that this year, and it is a very pretty paddle... High tide is at 4:03, right? So if you are talking about heading all the way up-river, the flow may be outgoing by the time we get there. Not sur...

My guess is that all the showers are going to miss the Hanson area, the way the doppler looks right now. Lots of nastiness to the west, but I think Hanson is going to have a clear swath of sky at 5:00pm. I'm planning to head over there, leaving here at 4:00pm, so I should be there at about 4:45. Norm

At 9:00am, the forecast is still possible scattered thunderstorms. Too early to tell from the doppler radar whether the current showers will have passed Hanson by 4:00pm. Why don't we plan to make the call about cancelling at about 2:00pm.

It seems there has been confusion a few times already this year about where the Thursday evening paddle would be, Hingham or Hanson. So, a suggestion was made by Romaine that we should put up a schedule to help solve the problem. Romaine looked up the tide and sunset times and made a nice chart whic...

I am planning to be there. I was there Tuesday night this week and got to see the new docks they have installed this year. I was there late, around 6:00pm, and the beach had already closed but the life-guards were there cleaning up till about 7:00. They no longer have a rope for swimmers beyond the ...

Hi Do you meet weekly in Hanson and have safety and rolling skills /practice? Camp Kiwanee, located off Kiwanee Road in Hanson, MA. 4:30 PM? John :paddler: 2 years Dagger Atlantis No, not weekly. We meet in Hanson when the evening tide in Hingham Harbor on Thursday's is bad. Tonight we are in Hingh...

I'm new to this. Where exactly is the meeting spot? We meet in the Hingham Town Boat Ramp parking lot which is at: 3 Otis St, Hingham, MA 02043 There is a nice sandy beach beside the ramp that we launch from. It is best to park clear of the boat ramp traffic area. There is usually plenty of parking...

Friday night Scott invited me to join him and Roger to paddle on Saturday morning. No time to try to invite anybody else. See pictures with descriptions using this link to a Facebook album. https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.1932913903393522.1073741960.100000247920357&type=1&l=88ddff6...

Four of us paddled in Hingham on the 7th - Joy, Eileen, Romaine and Norm. It was a bit windy once we got away from the beach - wind blowing out, so return was going to be hard. Plan was to go around World's End. There was an interesting sky all evening with light beams coming through the clouds. I d...

The International Film Tour is playing at 2 theaters this year - Arlington,MA or Newport, RI. I got tickets for the Arlington showing and the service charges are ridiculous - $6.50 service fee for each ticket and then they charge you $1.50 if you want to print out the tickets yourself instead of pic...

I may try to make it to Hingham this week if I can get out of work early enough and if I can get my boat onto my car. Got a bit of a problem with arthritis bothering me lately and not completely sure I can lift my boat onto the roof. I guess I could just hook up the trailer...if the lights still wor...

Thanks for sharing your experience with us. I'm surprised you chose to use your Cetus rather than your Seda. Was that because the Cetus has the convenient front hatch or was it for better stability across Tampa bay? Next question is - now that you've had a taste of the event, do you have any desire ...

Charles River Canoe and Kayak is hosting the Reel Paddling Film Festival on April 26th at 7:00pm. Cost is $12 in advance or $15 at the door. Proceeds go to support the Northern Forrest Canoe Trail. There are always a lot of giveaways at intermission at this event. Last year they gave out a couple hi...

I'm hoping that parking at the Cohasset town boat ramp is still open to non-residents after Labor Day and I'd like to take advantage of the convenient parking now that summer is over. (33 Parker Ave., Cohasset in the GPS gets you close.) Plan to arrive at 9:30am and launch at 10:00am. High tide is a...
